Holiday High Season

Hello Travelers,

Costa Rica Cellular Connection would like to take the opportunity to wish you a happy and safe holiday season. We know this can be a busy time of year for everyone and we hope everyone takes a few minutes to enjoy their time with friends and family.

We know first hand how busy it can be because every year around this time we seem to run out of cell phones and data cards to rent. If communication is a must, please reserve phones or wireless broadband internet cards early, so can you can stay in touch when you are traveling in Costa Rica. Once we run out, it can be very challenging to secure more mobile phone lines, or wireless internet lines, so we can't just flip a switch for additional customers.

Costa Rica Cellular Connection rents cellular phones and prepaid sim cards for Costa Rica, and now offers Mobile Broadband internet so you can travel with your laptop while enjoying Costa Rica. Please visit our website at www.costaricacellularconnection.com or contact by phone at 1-866-353-6492. Whether you are a study abroad student in Costa Rica, visiting a language school in Costa Rica, or just heading to Costa Rica for vacation, we can help you stay connected at the most affordable prices out there!

Roaming in CR

Over the past 6+ years, of renting cell phones and wireless internet for Costa Rica, we have gotten countless questions about US carrier cellular phones roaming in Costa Rica. It is possible, albeit at ridiculously expensive rates, on a limited number of carriers, however most Verizon cell phones WILL NOT work in Costa Rica. Most Sprint phones will not work either. This is basically because their technology is not compatible with the network in Costa Rica. You will need a phone that takes a GSM sim card (not cdma like Verizon), unlocked, and compatible with the frequencies that the Costa Rican network is on. If you have a mobile internet card in the US, regardless of the carrier, this WILL not work with the Costa Rican phone network.

Because of the recent weather issues in Costa Rica causing emergencies and road closers, a few people traveling with some Costa Rican Cellular Connection customers found this out the hard way. Luckily for them, our customers were nice enough to loan them our phones and datacards to let people know back in the States that they were OK!

Costa Rica Cellular Connection has been providing Cellular and Mobile Internet applications for travelers heading to Costa Rica for over 6 years! Contact us today at 1-866-353-6492 or on the web a www.costaricacellularconnection.com.
